Jason,

It is my understanding that logic in the ECB blocks
performs per channel diagnostics and can set the BAD status for a single
point on the FBM. I.e. Set the corresponding CIN input BAD.  Removing
an FBM from a base plate, taking an FBM off line, removing power from the
FBM, or removing the FBM cables connecting the FBM to the CP will not set
the BAD status, but will set the OOS (Out Of Service).  The OOS bit
and the BAD bit are distinct, and you might want to use boolean input
C:B.CIN..BO in your logic which is BAD or OOS.  In a CALCA SBD
command only sets BAD (RED) and not OOS (CYAN).  If OOS and BAD
status are both set FoxView will display CYAN as a higher priority than
BAD.
